yeah kinny riddle, it may help if you posted your essay. Like doughnuts mentioned, it could just be one or two mistakes you keep making and you could focus on those instead of trying to start back at the basics.

alright, i have a few questions of my own. I'll provide the whole sentence to help context-wise. These are from a novel i'm reading called ookami to koushinryou (spice & wolf).

ロレンスは精一杯どすを利かせたつもりだったが、娘は一向に動じない。

i'm a bit unsure about the meaning of the part i underlined/bolded. From what little i could find in my dictionaries, i think it has something to do with the inflexion of lawrence’s voice. Am i right? Like saying something in a strong voice?

目の前の光景がどうしても信じられず、ロレンスはしまいには水の詰まった皮袋を手に取って、中の水で顔を洗ったのだった。

same here, i don't understand the u/b'd part. It's easy to tell what the sentence means without it, but what is this word/verb?

Hmm, in that case, the の particle could be there, but has been omitted because it's obvious the speaker is talking of his own father. For example, if the previous speaker was talking of his own father before that.

私は (私の)父は新聞を読みながらご飯を食べます

(As for me,) My father reads the paper while eating lunch.

Presumably as it's a basic textbook, they're trying to make it easy for people; I doubt they'd use two topic markers in a row.

Umm...I appreciate the help, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm asking for the meaning of the parts as I had them written. But so it doesn't get lost on the last page, I'll post it again.

Thanks.

どすを利かせた - actual meaning is showing off the knife to scare the other.
and どすを利かせた must be shorten actual sentence is どすの利いた声でwhich means scare her with low voice used by yakuza(mafia).

しまいには is usually translated as as last. also the しまいには used (
しまいには。。。。してしまった) that common sense to be used.
してしまった means did something is not usual who had done with panic.
auther is using that word as more expression than "at last" (ついに)､i guess

Kadokawa USA, for the Ga-rei Zero show, is using it for Division. I was told that it means Special Combat/Special Warfare. Need to clear this up. Thanks.

"特戦" this kanji charactor must be shorten actual word as 特別戦闘・特殊戦隊etc....
as i see that attached picture to figure, it looks like special combat team...
if mercenary wear beret hat who may be green beret combat team.
what is that actual word for 特戦?

If you wrote this in english first, mind writing the original script and then we can check for accuracy, nuance, etc?
I generally get the concept, but kinda turn my head a little at the first frame when the girl speaks.
Since it's for humour, it'd probably be better to have a source first to check from.

「ザッシがありがとう」 is almost certainly wrong. As Mystique says, it depends on what you want to say - perhaps something on the lines of 「ザッシを作ってくれてありがとう!」or 「あなたが作ったザッシが大好きです!」. Though if you're using ザッシ for what you've just made, 漫画(まんが) or ４コマ might be better.

Also are you using katakana for ザッシ and ゼンブ for any particular reason? It's not WRONG, but it seems a little odd.
